Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Details on results:
Concentrations in fish tissue:
High level treatment: 0.79 to 1.94 mg/kg, ww
Low level treatment: 0.21 to 1.05 mg/kg, ww
Executive summary:

The BCFs in the test with 15 µg BPA/L ranged from <= 20 to 67 L/kg. The BCFs in the test with 150 µg/L ranged from 5.1 to 13.3 L/kg.

BPA has a low potential for bioaccumulation in fish.

Description of key information

Bisphenol A has low potential for bioaccumulation based on laboratory bioconcentration factors of less than or equal to 73 L/kg in fish.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

BCF (aquatic species):
73 L/kg ww
